Kinokuniya Bookstore - Review

Kinokuniya is a wonderful bookstore located around the corner of a bustling street in New York. First opened in 1927 in Japan, they have 12 outlets in USA that attract many people. It is one of the few shops in the city to have an extensive collection of Japanese books. You will find everything from Manga, graphic novels, art and design books, cookbooks, travel books, to children's book under one roof. Beautiful stationery from Japan is their identity. Other popular Asian books can also be found here. Even if you are not in the mood to buy anything, coming here and looking around is also a quite enjoyable experience.

Favorite place to visit in New York! Ground floor carries a huge selection of books. Basement has tons of adorable and professional stationary and decorative items. Also has many magazines (in both English and Japanese). Top floor has a little cafe area and comics. Entire place is very clean and organized; there is something for everyone! Only cons is that it is pretty pricey and can be overwhelming to a newcomer.

Came here two weeks ago with some friends while I was visiting the city. Great atmosphere. We got some food from the cafe. My food was excellent, but my friends tea was made incorrectly but they assured her it was made with non-dairy milk (as she is lactose intolerant and vegan) and it was not. Cafe staff need to be a bit more careful about their dairy and non dairy milks for this reason.

Clean, functional bookstore. English language first floor is relatively well organized.
If you're a fan of Japanese animation, and you're not comfortable with the language, the second floor will be a bit disorganized. The lion's share of the second floor is for Japanese language materials, and the bookshelves are labeled in Japanese as well. The staff on the second floor will be very helpful to you if this will be a problem. Also, if there's anything you are interested in that they do not have in stock, the staff will be helpful in arranging an order for you.
There's a serviceable cafe on the second floor. Please do not bring any unpaid merchandise into that area.

I am a book and stationary lover, so I went to the store in search of cool stationary than comics and manga. The lower level of the store is my dream come true even if its a little pricey. The gel pen collection is my favourite in the city.
